Note: I actually wrote up all seven challenges that were on the page, and will list them in order from the newest one to the oldest, with my suggested list for the next challenge at the bottom of this one! This was fun!

It was a beautiful, clear autumn day at Hogwarts, and everyone was excited because it was the first quidditch game of the year. But it was more than just the first game, it was Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, and no ordinary match at that. No, in this game there would be professors playing and representing their former houses with students running the match.

There had never been a game like this that anyone could remember, and to top it all off, all the players would be flying magic carpets rather than brooms. No one knew exactly what the reason was, except that it was rumored that Severus Snape was scared to death of flying on a broomstick and this was the only way he would agree to play the game. Professor Snape was needed in order to ensure that Slytherin had enough players on the team, so carpets it was.

The game commenced, with Luna Lovegood doing commentary for the match and, surprisingly, Hermione Granger acting as the referree. Since it was a known fact that Hermione didn't care much for the game of quidditch, everyone figured she must have been blackmailed or bribed into doing it somehow, probably by either Harry or, more likely, Ron.

It was exciting to see the professors soaring across the pitch on their carpets. Even Horace Slughorn was there, looking just a bit uncomfortable but still putting up a valiant effort as the Slytherin beater. His only actual problem came about when he hit the bludger with such force that crystallized pineapple rained onto the field, some students even swore they saw a vial of felix felicis fly out of his robes.

It seemed the star of the game, though, was on the Gryffindor side in Minerva McGonagall, the Gryffindor seeker. One would swear she was able to spot the snitch with catlike ability, that is, until Slytherin seeker Sybill Trelawney began to use her abilities as a seer to anticipate exactly where the snitch would appear next. Thanks to her keen perception Slytherin won the game, taking home the much coveted honorary Hogwarts Quidditch Alumni Carpet Cup.

Suggested items for a challenge -
Daphne Greengrass must be a main character
The setting must be on the grounds by the whomping willow
These words must be included - avocado, starfish, mannequin, knit
A pineapple cream pie must be smashed into someone's face
Someone will reveal a secret crush
